Le Cache Contemp 3800 Provincial #739

NOW WITH THE MOST ADVANCED AND QUIETEST COOLING UNITS FROM CELLARPRO!
The Model 3800 is designed for passionate wine connoisseurs with sizeable wine collections, featuring doors with Classic arch windows and ample interior space for both racked and bulk storage.

Total Capacity: 458 bottles
Size: 58w x 29d x 86h (in)

For a collection that has outgrown a cooler or a closet conversion, the 3800 Provincial gives serious collectors a dedicated, climate-controlled home for up to 458 bottles. The Provincial Cherry finish and gently arched double-glass doors integrate naturally into a dining room, finished basement or second home — contemporary enough for modern interiors, warm enough for more traditional ones. Behind the doors, a CellarPro cooling unit manages both temperature and humidity with digital precision, which is what separates a true wine cabinet from a refrigerator and makes it a viable option for long-term aging.

PLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS

POWER REQUIREMENT:
The power cord extends 6 1/2 feet from the rear of the cabinet. If an extension cord is used, it should be 14-gauge wire or thicker, grounded, and as short as possible.

The cooling unit plugs into a standard grounded wall outlet. We recommend adding a surge protector, rated at 15 amps or more (for example, click here), to protect the cooling unit from power surges.

The outlet must be on a dedicated circuit. The components of the cooling unit draw 3 amps, and the electric outlet on the side of the cooling unit also is rated for 3 amps. The cooling unit should not, under any circumstances, share a circuit with another motor or compressor-based appliance, like a wine cooler, fridge, air conditioner, or garage opener.

FLOOR SURFACE
Because of the significant weight of your wine cabinet, it is important that it be placed on a hard surface; otherwise, the cabinet may become skewed if the doors settle unevenly over time. If you will be placing your cabinet on thick carpeting, consider placing a carpet board underneath the wine cabinet. You can purchase a carpet board from Le Cache, or you can have your local hardware store cut a 3/4 inch plywood board to the following dimensions: 45w x 25d (inches).

DOOR SWING CLEARANCE
The doors of our wine cabinets swing wide by approximately 1 inch when open at 90 degrees. The additional width should be accounted for when purchasing cabinets that do not have moldings because the stated widths of our wine cabinets do not account for the door swing. Please note that the additional width is required in front of the cabinet.

WEIGHT LOAD FACTOR
After loading your wine cabinet with wine bottles, it will be extremely heavy. When selecting a location for your cabinet, make sure that the floor underneath is strong enough to support the weight of the cabinet.

TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS
CellarPro cooling units are designed to handle temperatures ranging from 50 to 95F.

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
The cooling unit generates hot air that must be exhausted in such a way that it won't be recirculated by the cooling unit. If the hot air cannot be dissipated or channeled properly, and the cooling unit is forced to recycle its own hot air, the cooling unit will be unable to maintain cold temperatures inside the wine cabinet and/or will overheat and/or will run all the time. Proper ventilation can be achieved in one of three ways:

• 1. UPRIGHT CABINETS WITH TOP-VENT CONFIGURATIONS
  Our upright wine cabinets have been engineered with top-vent cooling units and SB/0 Technology so that they can be placed right up against the wall. In this configuration, the hot air generated by the cooling unit is ventilated through the top of the wine cabinet, and the return air comes from above the wine cabinet, so there must be clearance above and to the sides of the cabinets for the hot air to dissipate, as follows:
• Contemporary wine cabinets, Carolina wine cabinets, Loft wine cabinets, Vault wine cabinets and a Semi-Custom wine cabinets require 18 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet.
• European Country wine cabinets and Mission wine cabinets require 12 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet.
• The sides always need to be open - in other words, placement in a corner, enclosed space, alcove, or closet will not work without our front-vent hood (see Configuration 3 below).

• 2. UPRIGHT CABINETS WITH Rear-Vent Configurations
  Our upright wine cabinets can be configured so that the return air comes from behind the wine cabinet. This configuration is useful in situations where sufficient clearance around the wine cabinet doesn't exist. In this configuration:
• If the rear of the wine cabinet is not accessible, a minimum clearance of 7 1/2 inches above the wine cabinet is required for removal and replacement of the cooling unit air filter.
• If the rear of the wine cabinet is accessible, a minimum clearance of 3 inches above the wine cabinet is required for proper airflow, and we recommend using our air deflector to direct the hot air exhaust to the left of the wine cabinet.
• In all cases, the wine cabinet must be placed 3-4 inches away from the rear wall.
• The sides always need to be open - in other words, placement in a corner, enclosed space, alcove, or closet will not work without our front-vent hood (see Configuration 3 below).

• 3. UPRIGHT CABINETS with Front-Vent Hoods
  If you want to place the wine cabinet flush against the wall but you don't have the required clearance (as outlined in Configuration 1 above), or you want to place the wine cabinet in an enclosed space, closet, or alcove, our front-vent hood (placed on top of the wine cabinet) can be used with 7 1/2 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet for removal of the hood and the air filter. Please note:
• Contemporary wine cabinets, Loft wine cabinets and Vault wine cabinets can use our front vent hood with OR without the decorative grill.
• European Country wine cabinets, Mission wine cabinets and Carolina wine cabinets can use our front vent hood without the decorative grill (the decorative grill will not fit with crown moldings).

4. CREDENZA WINE CABINETS
Credenza wine cabinets don't require any clearance above the wine cabinet; however, all credenzas require 3-4 inches of space behind the wine cabinet because all the ventilation (intake and exhaust) occurs behind the cabinet.

Can the Le Cache 3800 Provincial be placed flush against a wall, or does it need clearance around it?

A: Yes. The 3800 uses Le Cache’s SB/0™ Technology, which routes exhaust through a top-vent rather than through the rear or sides. This means the cabinet can sit completely flush against a wall with no side or rear clearance required. It is a freestanding unit, not a built-in, but the top-vent design makes it practical in tight spaces like a dining room alcove, basement finishing or a dedicated storage wall.

What is the real-world bottle capacity, and will it fit larger-format bottles like Burgundy or Champagne?

A: The 3800 holds 458 bottles total — 408 in racked slots (3.8-inch slots) and approximately 50 in bulk stacked storage. The all-wood interlock racks use a universal design specifically sized to accommodate oversized bottles, so Burgundy pinots, Champagne and similarly wide-shouldered bottles fit without modification. The double-deep racking configuration allows you to store two rows per slot, which is how the cabinet reaches that capacity within its 58” x 29” footprint.

What are the electrical requirements, and can it run on a standard household circuit?

A: The 3800 runs on 115V AC / 60 Hz, which is a standard US household current. The CellarPro cooling unit comes in three configurations: the 1800QTL-ECX draws 2.4 running amps (14.2 startup amps), the 1800QT-ECX draws 2.9 running amps (20.1 startup amps) and the 1800XT-ECX draws 3.0 running amps (20.1 startup amps). A dedicated 20-amp circuit is recommended given the startup amp draw, particularly for the QT and XT variants.

How does this cabinet manage humidity, and why does that matter for long-term aging?

A: The 3800 includes active adjustable humidity control through the CellarPro cooling unit, not passive humidification. Standard wine coolers and refrigerators cycle humidity out of the air as a byproduct of cooling, which dries corks over time and allows oxidation. This cabinet maintains the humidity conditions necessary for long-term aging and cork integrity, making it suitable for holding Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhône vintages over multi-year timelines rather than just short-term storage.

What does the warranty cover, and is extended coverage available?

A: Le Cache provides a 2-year warranty on the entire cabinet and a separate 5-year warranty on the CellarPro cooling unit. The cooling unit warranty reflects the fact that the CellarPro system is the most mechanically complex component and the one most likely to need service over time. An optional extended warranty is also available if you want coverage beyond those terms.

What insulation does the 3800 use, and how does it protect wine from temperature fluctuation and UV damage?

A: The cabinet is built with foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation, one of the highest R-value rigid foam insulations available, combined with sealed seams to prevent thermal bridging. The doors use double-pane tinted glass, which blocks UV light that degrades wine compounds while still allowing you to view the collection. Together, these materials maintain stable internal conditions even in rooms with ambient temperature swings.
